Staying at Thanik's house was a wonderful experience! He has a lovely place with all the modern comforts and the most comfortable pillows you will ever sleep on. We felt very cozy and at home here. If you don't feel like leaving the building for anything there is a pool, gym, and convenient store located just downstairs. But if you do decide to go out there are nice local restaurants and a 7/11 right down the street. Not to mention Khao San Road is only a short ride away. We took a meter Taxi and it cost us about 50 Baht. Thanik is a great host. He gave us many local tips and always responded to us right away! If I am ever in Bangkok again I will definitely be staying here.
